Working on a project in my shop today and was lamenting the demise of the old Micro Bed epoxy. A lot of us old guys did more than gun repair with that stuff, and I always made sure to have a good supply on hand.
I remember about 40 years ago and old gunsmith friend (he was over 80 at the time) telling me how he repaired an old piano stool with Micro Bed and basically built new threads in it so the seat would screw up and down.
I always managed to have some available on my bench at my gun shop and we sure used it for a lot of things...most of which were gun and knife related.
I knew old George that owned Micro Sight company and they delivered to my shop every week, but lost track of him after I got out of the business and moved on.
I understand that Brownell's got the rights to make the Micro Bed and I have bought some from them, but it's just not the same stuff. I think they must have somehow changed the formula.
